    My mouse cursor keeps drifting upwards, how do I fix it?


    No matter how I move my mouse, the cursor will drift upwards from wherever I leave it, Until it reached the top of the screen, making it almost impossible to do anything. Originally it was jumping very quickly to the top right corner, however after restarting my computer it started going directly up, comparatively slowly. Every time I restart my computer it works fine at first, But then after a minute or so starts up again. Additionally, the longer I leave it running, the faster it starts moving. If I press ctrl+alt+delete, it works fine in that Window, but once I exit it's back to drifting. A

  3. Cursor Drift


    Does anyone else have excessive cursor drift after installing W10?

    I am using a laptop with a touchpad, but I find the cursor always wants to drift upwards.
    Have tried many online so called "Cures" but so far nothing has worked.
    It's at it's worst when I am playing solitaire or doing the jigsaw puzzles (Don't judge) *Biggrin*Biggrin*Biggrin*Biggrin

    Cursor constantly drifting

    My cursor will constantly drift to the right side of the screen (to no specific spot, just drifts directly to the right). This occurred a few days ago but I was able to fix it with a simple restart, but now I've tried restarting a few times and the cursor still won't stop drifting. I even uninstalled all pointer drivers in Device Manager to no avail. I know this isn't a problem with my mouse because the drifting still occurs when I unplug the mouse, and this also isn't the trackpad's fault as the drifting suddenly stops whenever I open a "system app" or whatever it's called (e.g., Task Manger, Device Manager, etc.). Appreciate any help!
